I was playing DBD every single day at least one match for the daily, while working on the challenges for the battle pass/rift. I had some work stuff come up in late 2022 that prevented me from playing, and I missed out on finishing the pass/rift. I was bummed, but then I realized I'd been playing the game like it was a job and not for fun, so I've been on a break most of the year. I still do enjoy logging in and playing it, but I will agree that if you really want to get everything in it and be competitive with all killers, there's still a ton of grinding needed. It's leagues better than it was this time last year, they made some fantastic QOL changes, but it's not "simple". It's a lot more fun when I *do* play now that I stopped worrying about FOMO.

I think the difference is that Silent Hill 2 isn't really renowned for being a great game mechanically, it is beloved due to it's dark as gently caress story and the music. Making the game have a more modern feel is fine, but messing with the story is risky. Most people remember the beats of Resident Evil 2 but expanding it didn't bother us as much.

veni veni veni posted:Yeah Silent Hill remake should really just not be a thing at all at this point. If it's good, cool. It probably won't be though. I just think they should have remade the first one. It has a lot of potential for growth that the second one doesn't. Plus it's graphics absolutely do not hold up. I'm also spoiled because the fan project Enhanced Edition for SH2 really has done a fantastic job of a remaster for the game

Make no mistake, the RE4 remake is "more serious" than RE4 OG, but it still has some ridiculousness in it.

al-azad posted:Blood Omen is 96 cents, the best Zelda game starring a vampire that vortexes blood in his mouth and has a putrefying flesh spell. VAE VICTIS!! I loved Blood Omen so much. A game where you play as a vampire, and not a good guy vampire? Blew my mind in my youth. I probably would have played it a bunch more but then Symphony of the Night came out a few months later and it blew BO away with vampire gameplay. Sadly I never got into Soul Reaver, and Blood Omen 2 was disappointing.

Instant Grat posted:It is very easy to either emulate the PS2 version or get the fanmade Enhanced Edition running on PC, and as long as that's the case I'm not that hung up on how the bloobmake turns out Yeah if Konami would make it so I COULD buy Silent Hill 2 legally I'd have no problem buying it again. Bit since it's practically abandonware I have no problem recommending piracy. It's not hard to find and there's even an Internet archive site you can "borrow" it from. Enhanced Edition is so good, I tried playing through the PS2 version last year and it just looks so rough compared to the EE. Those guys are doing the Lord's work

Yeah Dead By Daylight would be gone by now if they hadn't adjusted it so you can play with your friends. I just want them to go all in and give you rewards for doing custom matches for people who want to play with their friend as killer too. As it stands now custom matches can be fun but ultimately pointless if you're trying to progress

I still overall prefer RE2 remake, the story/puzzles/action is the right mix for me, RE4 is a little too actiony for my tastes. Still put 160 hours into it

MockingQuantum posted:I actually grabbed the 2 remake on sale a while back, just haven't gotten around to it yet, but I probably will pretty soon here given how solid this one has been. I really enjoyed RE3 too, to be fair. My stance on it has always been "Fantastic as a sub $15 game/DLC for RE2 but don't compare it to the original". The puzzles kiiiiind of get harder in the harder modes but it's more like "Instead of the note telling you the time on the clock, it gives you roman numerals to make it harder", or "One more layer of pathing in the island door puzzles". Nothing truly difficult.

When they get too actiony I don't like it. It's one of the reasons I bust my rear end getting all the unlockables, so when I decide to go through one again I've got infinite ammo ready for me to just mow through everything.

gey muckle mowser posted:I've never been able to get into the Resident Evil games (or any survival horror really), mostly because I really suck at that kind of combat so when ammo is super limited I always miss a lot and quickly end up screwed. I loved RE7 up until the basement part where you start running into tougher enemies, I'd always use up my ammo on the first one or two and then be left with nothing but a knife to defend myself against all the others. The inventory system also drives me nuts but that wouldn't be a dealbreaker if I wasn't already frustrated with the combat. The cool thing about RE7 is that the knife is actually pretty good, and blocking helps a lot. Plus in the basement you can pretty easily avoid most of the enemies, they don't follow you from room to room. The hardest part for me is the boiler room where there's 4 of them and it's tough to weave through them and open the door (using keys in real time is about my least favorite thing about RE7)

Pyrolocutus posted:Felt like the first one was pretty good on the "RE spirit" front, these days I'm cautious about waiting for reviews but it's definitely on my watchlist. I still haven't finished it because the limited saves was killing me, but I just saw that there's a debug menu that lets you save anywhere so I might have to go back to it and utilize that.

Instant Grat posted:The limited saves really aren't a problem unless you do your gaming in 15-minute intervals or have some sort of compulsion that requires you to save after every single enemy you kill. They're a bit sparse in the beginning, but you very quickly start getting more of them than you could ever reasonably spend. Yeah, I unfortunately have times where my playtime is limited. I lost 1.5 hours worth a while back because I didn't have any ribbons and the power went out.

Instant Grat posted:That sucks, but thankfully it's the kind of game where you can very quickly get back to where you were as long as you remember what you were doing. Figuring out where to go and messing with the puzzles is the part that takes time, so I'll bet those 1.5 hours wouldn't take more than 20 minutes or so to catch up to if you were to try again. Yeah, but it's even easier to hit END to open the debug menu and save where you're at.  oldpainless posted:If I turn off a game and come back to it and I’ve lost more than like 5 minutes of play time, there’s a very real possibility I’ll never play it again. My time is just too valuable to me. I will simply start another game. Yep exactly. I have hundreds of untouched games, if I'm pounding my head on one it goes on the backburner.

I'm fine with limited save locations (Save rooms in RE) I just don't like limited saves, even if the save item becomes plentiful. Sometimes I'm paranoid as hell and want to save all the time. My Nightmare difficulty RE7 run I think I have like 40 ink ribbons in my vault because I was SUPER stingy with saves there.

The_Doctor posted:I think my one note on Control was that you can never actually clear the Oldest House of the Hiss, which sure, endless game, but it’s annoying. By far the best part of Control was the Ashtray Maze near the finale. Worst part about Control is no NG+ followed by only having a single save slot.

Simiain posted:I did this with Signalis last year, pulled the combat difficulty all the way down so I could sail through it as a vibes game. I have a feeling I missed out on the total Signalis Experience(TM), though, in limiting the tension and dread that derives from its claustrophic and restricted gameplay. Similarly, with the combat difficulty turned down it really does expose how straightforward it is as a fetch puzzle run-around, I never had to worry about how I was going to get from A to B to A and back to B again, nor sit in a safe-room and gee myself up for the gauntlet ahead, and those little periods of worrying and those feelings of apprehension I think are crucial ingredients to this kind of survival horror. That said, I only have so much time these days and one of the strengths of Signalis is that its just as strong as a dreamlike vibes odyssey as it is a mix of survival horror gameplay archetypes and tropes. I loved it. Highly, highly, highly reccomend if you're going to play SH2 you play the Enhanced Edition fan project. It's insanely good with a ton of work put into it. https://enhanced.townofsilenthill.com/SH2/

Lil Swamp Booger Baby posted:Really impressive project but I played this version and it's basically like removing a layer of grain and grime from the game that originally helped establish the game's atmosphere. It was really never meant to look that sharp or high resolution, despite how much they tried to maintain the aesthetic, I still think the best way to play this game is on a poo poo CRT with a PS2 copy. I also think the game's framing and camerawork was explicitly designed with 4:3 in mind, the composition of a lot of scenes suffered because of this while playing in wide-screen. These games relied a lot on manipulating the camera and showing you exactly what they wanted to be seen, and playing 16:9 undercuts that. Pretty sure you can just pillar box this enhanced version though. I dunno, I played the PS2 version about 15 times through and the Enhanced Edition about 5 times since I found it. I guess if you're a purist stick with the OG but I love the EE, it looks amazing and to me the lack of grain isn't a negative. Just whatever you do don't play the HD collection on PS3/Xbox 360.
